Giant Worm Room
I go up some stairs and look into a room to the south. There is a room to the south, several statues. To the west is a collapsed wall, caused by a Giant Worm! Nobody else believes that it's a Worm, but I know better.
AlinaBrowning finds some clawmarks (she thinks the BeastmenOfBordobaar dug it–pfft). RachelRoss finds some wires and blasting caps in the rubble.
RachelRoss moves through the south door, into a corridor.
More Savages (Yes, More)
We move out of the corridor into a large, multi-level room with a large statue surrounded by 4 columns in the middle. RachelRoss hears the savages coming from a doorway at the lowest level (of 3). We establish a firing position covering that doorway.

Another Giant Bug (Yes, another)
We search back north. I am checking a small room. A giant bug lunges out.

It grabs and shakes me.

MichelStMarie moves over and shoots it, but it only scores its tough hide.

I pull out my sword and kill it.
We search the room. MichelStMarie finds an old leather satchel with some notes inside. Something clanks inside as well. He finds three vials. Professor MaximillianBennet (name on satchel).. I find an old martian longsword/pistol.
Exit stage right
We continue searching the ruins. We find a room with large scratch marks, and in the next room we find an empty gun carriage.
We find another area to the west. Occupied by Savages!

The Caverns of Bordobaar
We search a tunnel opening to the south. It opens into a vast network of caverns. We explore for a while, and, realizing we can never clear such a large network of the BeastmenOfBordobaar, we fall back and prepare to blast the caverns shut.
